FSPort/ST:R?
Ok...lets see... the Lucifer can bring all four of its SSLbeams to fire on a forward target (thanks to the 180 degree fire arc on its side beams). The Hades can bring four as well (though it has a total of five, two are on opposite sides and one is on the bottom, so optimum would still be facing top, or broadside, with one broadside beam inactive, or the bottom one inactive).
Beams bypass shields, so that's a moot point pretty much, and they have the same HP if I recall, so it'd still be pretty even.
The Hades is supposed to be a recreation of the Lucifer, and in that regard, I think it succeeds pretty well.
